An increasingly popular after-
noon's’ fun in the way-back Back
Mountain is the Game Commission
tour of Gamelands 57, 38,000 wild
acres of state-regulated land sort of
behind Noxen and up into Sullivan
County.
Gamelands 57 is also the basin
of the Mehoopany Creek and such
exotic tributeries as Possum and
South: brooks. Adjoining the land is
37,000 ‘more acres, identically wild,
comprising Gamelands 13, the total
presenting such a wilderness that
an imprudent hunter might never
find his way out.
Indeed, as Ed Gdosky, genial Game
Protector and guide of last week's
tour, explained, until bulldozers had
plowed longcrisscrossing strip-cuts
through the woods, he hesitated to
venture too far back himself. Now
though, it is pretty hard to walk
straight for many miles without
eventually hitting a cut or a road.
We started from Ricketts Gate,
above the Red Rock Air Force Base,
about ten cars and jeeps, and several
trucks. Some people in the tour
knew ‘the land well, a few old-timers
recalling lumbering days. Art Kit-
chen, in fact, used to be postmaster
at the now extinct village of Moun-
tain Springs.
Others in the party came to look
over the game situation for this sea-
son, or maybe to take pictures if a
good shot presented itself.
We completed the cirenit in about
four hours, with occasional stops
for Ed and Walter Malinowski, food
and cover foreman, to explain things.
The ‘trick, as I discovered, is to
ride in the back of the Commission's
truck, ‘from which you are afforded
the best camera shots and a running
commentary from Ed and all ‘the
out-doorsmen riding with you. I
felt I could go any Indian a close
second in woodsmanship when we
had finished the afternoon.
In my truck were Joe and Gerard
Kipp, Harry Carey, Ed Gilmer Sr.
and Ed Gilmer Jr., Dave Williams,
Glenn Williams, and Fred Jones.
I met a whole contingent from
Sweet Valley —Ord Trumbower,
Preston and Kathy Mingus, and
Charles Long, Miralie, Wanda, and |
Jan. Also: Wilson Ryman, Dan Koz- |
ick, Mal Kitchen, Jim Hopple, and
Tony Hudak, as well as ‘many I
didn’t get a chance to talk to.
: Wild Ride oi |
An unscheduled highlight of the!
trip for four of us was a jolly ride |
down the mountain trail in a wildly
over-reving Power Wagon, which |
was our conveyance for the start of
the trip. The motor/threw a fit of
mechanical enthusiasm after many
years of loyal effort for the Common- |
wealth, and decided to go for broke.
Luckily the better part of the ride
ed by shreds of bark and budding,
animals.
Game protectors keep a weather
eve on the berry bushes to deter-
mine if the deer and birds are going
to have anything to eat.
Game ‘Spotted
Well into the hinterland we spot-
ted some red foxes, and Ed said it
was in this area he had shot a bob-
cat recently. Camera bugs fell over
each other to get a picture of a doe
standing in the road ahead of our
truck. But she was standing square
into the sun.
A mile or so beyond, we ground
to a halt, jumped out of the truck,
and scrambled into the brush; chas-
ing wild turkeys with cameras. Be-
fore hunting season the wild turkey
is surely the stupidest creature a-
live, preferring to walk than to fly.
All the birds simply maintained a
careful lead on us, and when we
hemmed them in, they ran every
which way to get out before taking
to the air.
Other sights we enjoyed were the
wheat strips planted by the Com-
wood-duck boxes built by interested
naturalists, beaver dams-some trap-
ped out and some going strong. On
a lake called the Meadows, we saw
some mallard : ducks, a strategic
beaver dam, and the Sam Kittle
family fishing.

need the motor. s
Where Possum and South joined,
several ‘trout were spotted. As for,
game, Ed said, grouse, pheasant, and |
turkey all looked fairly good, but
ducks were off. ,
The gamelands are mever open to
traffic, with the exception of specified
stretches of road, but are open to
public on foot, bicycle, or what-have
